Michael the Mercedes Guy
Добавлен 20 мар 2022
Pacific Northwest Mercedes-Benz guru, Michael Medill will guide you through various repairs, modifications, and upgrades to classic Mercedes-Benz vehicles from the 1950s through the 1980s.
Random Inspections Under the Hood: 1979 Mercedes-Benz 300SD
While taking an inventory of parts we're going to need for a leaking thermostat housing (video to come in a few weeks!) Michael noticed a few things amiss under the hood of this 1979 300SD. This video is the first in a new playlist of Random Inspections Under the Hood--small, generally easy-to-fix items that could easily escape the eye. In this inspection Michael finds a few clearance issues, a battery cable out of place, and a loose hose. If you find this content useful, please 'like' and/or subscribe. Thank you!

Mercedes-Benz W116 door handle adjustment

In the near the future we will post a companion video showing where the adjustment is ...

Thank you sir for making video on vintage MB turbo diesels. I APPRECIATE your knowledge and expertise and bringing it to our attention. We need more helpful people in our community like yourself. Continue doing your thing and great luck to you and your business!
Hi Michael, thanks for your videos! I will try this first. Could a defect fuse also be the reason for the blower not to work!? Greetings from Germany!
Hi Michael can you make a video of How do you change an air filter in an Mercedes Benz W111 Heckfosse please and keep up with the hard work Michael 👍
❤🎉🎉🎉
Howdy, Mike!
I really like your story. I get great value from your videos. Very practical tips and tricks. For example, making the W123 glovebox shut. Thank you very much. Please keep sharing your knowledge and experience with the world. I'm sure it has helped safe many a classic Mercedes-Bnez from the scrapheap.
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
My Dad brought home 1968 220D. Very unusual for a Detroit Tool and Die guy to have back then. My brother became a Mercedes’ master mechanic. I have only driven W123 and W126 for the last 45 years.
Nember one michel😍🥇🏆
❤❤❤❤ michel the king mercedes ❤❤❤❤
Similar story, Dad bought a 59 220S Ponton, learned to drive it, next 63 220S I drove that all through school. Dad bought a 68 230/8...it wasn't fast enough for me, bought a 70 Dodge Challenger, drove for 10 years, not comfortable enough. Bought a couple of Volkswagens but, always marveled at the build quality and ease of mechanical works of the Mercedes. Plus they were beautiful cars. I especially admired the coupes. In 2000 I found a well l maintained 91 560 SEC....I drive it to this day and find great enjoyment in doing so. Always enjoy your videos!
This is the Mercedes of old. Nothing about them now is worth talking let alone bragging about. Toyota & Lexus have been making solid and reliable cars for decades.
So, just drive the old cars.
Great story Michael ,keep up the great work.....never stop working sir as@our age it leads to a fast decline....keep working keep busy Legend.
Michael you are the man!! Thanks for the “rest of the story” from you pal down here in LA , Daniel
🚗
Just awesome, Mike!
Do you have any tips on adjusting the 250c windows? I have two and they both stick out at the top like your passanger window. Please help or make a video on this subject?:) <3 you're our only reliable hope/help on youtube <3
That's a steal of a deal!
We all wish you still had your 2nd and 3rd car! The coupes <3 do you still have some old coupes? What are they? <3
thank you
thank you for the videos. you've saved me a lot of money lol
Michael thank you for letting us know a little about the history of the Mercedes Guy. I am in need of some parts, I have a 1980 300sd. Main thing I need is a front passenger side window regulator. I saw your video too late about heating them up, and a guy I was trying to help out by letting him do some work messed up the one in the car beyond repair. Could I get your email, if possible. Thank you. Love your channel, never miss an episode.
Check video description, for contact information.
Thanks for sharing your cool story.

I started off with that same southwestern casual decor. Oh who am I kidding, it's timeless and still my favorite. ALSO HOOKED ON BENZ!! 1969 250

Good advice! Thank you.
I know a few 4- letter words. Your material is wonderful. You have a new subscriber. However, I don't have eyes on end of my fingers.
"Less trips to the ER." I love it. You have a very patient camera person. I feel like I'm in the room with you. I do need a third arm too. Lovely. Good job well done.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Micheal…. Just what l needed to know….l was afraid of damaging it!
Glad to be of help. Thanks for watching!
Hey michael,i hope all is well! Can you make a video on how to take a w114 steering wheel apart? Id like to restore mine, but havent figured out how to get the hub, horm button amd chrome off of the wheel. Thank you!
Yes, I'll try to make a video on that in the coming weeks. Thanks for watching.
@@michaelthemercedesguy thank you <3
Hallo, een vraagje Links onder dashboard stuur zijde. Heb je een relay 0015420219 een 4 pin aansluiting. Weetje wekke kleur draden waar horen?
Hi Michael, I have 1970 250coup w114 and I’m looking for a breather hose on the bottom of the air filter between the two carburetors can you please help me! Find it or have one for sale. I love you video’s and the explanation!
I probably do have some, but it would be better to buy new ones. There's a site you can find by googling "MB Teilekatalog" to get part numbers, though the site is frequently down. If you give the Mercedes-Benz Classic Center in California a call they most likely have new ones to sell.
I replaced the alternator a month ago on my w123 240d after changing it the battery light never worked even with the engine off, today after a week that the car was left standing I turned it on to go to work and up to that point everything was fine, but to go home it didn't start I had to turn it on with a booster, and I noticed that with the engine on the voltage is 11.9V (I'll start by saying that the alternator is painted, could it be that it doesn't have ground?)

Hi Michael, I'm up in British Columbia CANADA, and it's 91 degrees today but I decided to put a new blower motor in my W116 this morning, get it done before winter LOL, original unit never been changed, 1980 300SD with 195,000 km, and thanks to your video it sure was easier than I thought. Great tip about which socket to use. THANKS !!!
Glad to be of help. Thanks for watching!

I was wondering how do you change the bulbs in the cluster? I need to change them on my w110 because there is very little lighting in it
Great info, Mike.
Just what I need, Thanks. My rear left stuck too but can be opened from inside
Does an 83 w126 have the same set up? Just replaced my master cylinder and now i have this issue... thanks for the vidro!
Where did you get the seals?
The partial seal my customer got from the Mercedes-Benz Classic Center. The full seal I took from one of my parts cars.
@@michaelthemercedesguy thank you!
Hello thank you for the video… i have a w111 with no light in the cluster… do I need to pull the cluster like this to chance the lightbulb?
You have no lights at all? If that's the case I would first start with the fuse box. And be careful, even though a fuse might look good, it may not be. I do have a video up on how to service a fuse box. Once you've eliminated the fuse as a possibility, check your headlight switch. It's possible that could have gone bad. But to answer your question: yes, to change bulbs in the cluster you do need to remove it.
Nice
Nice Mercedes Michael ❤
